When you look at the full moon, do you see a rabbit? According to Chinese legend, the Jade Rabbit is the companion of Chang'e, a woman who wound up living on the moon after she drank a magic elixir of immortality. May this harvest moon let you enjoy what your labor has made and give you loyal and cozy company, too.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You've recently been pushing yourself to do the hard thing, only to discover that not only does doing hard things make you better, stronger and smarter, but it makes you braver too. Your self-definition is expanding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don't have all the ingredients, but start anyway. Look at what is already available. Whatever is on hand is enough to make progress: enough money for the smaller version, enough time for a first step, enough skill to begin.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). One question keeps coming back because you feel like you need an answer before you can move on. Ask. A friend, expert or coworker has the detail you're missing, or at least a clue that gets you one step further.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been the person who remembers, arranges, checks in and gets things done. When another person offers to help, be sure to give them a real job. You will have less to manage, and they will feel good knowing you trust them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Put more emphasis on what's already going well: the friend who always makes you laugh, the skill people pay for, the project you like returning to. Focusing there is more fun and it's also more productive. Keep going with what makes you proud.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People have an easier time because of you, and it feels good to recognize it, even if you don't always get the acknowledgment you deserve for it. Seeing that you've made a difference is the most satisfying feeling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You often make room for everyone else's needs and forget that you also require things such as attention, sustenance, work that's meaningful to you and joy! A fair arrangement includes something good for you as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An old problem that's been taking up room in your mind is moving out. As it fades into the distance, you may feel that even though it wasn't completely resolved, it didn't have to be to become unimportant to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It so happens that the thing that didn't work out brought you a blessing in disguise. You'll have a lot of fun with a fresh start, trying something new or testing a different idea. There's a cheaper, easier way to get the result you wanted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People come to you with questions. Take your time. Process what they really mean and need — and more importantly, what helping will cost you. A thoughtful answer saves you from creating extra work or drama for yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Show up where people gather around something you already enjoy. You like people who understand the reference, laugh at the same strange detail and keep the conversation moving. A chat leads to a new friend or an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you approach people compassion-first, you're open to a fuller picture of who they are and even how it must feel to be them right now. No wonder you put together social scenes, groups and teams that really benefit all.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). In your Passion Fire Year, you are pulled by feelings beyond logic and duty to pursuits you once would have deemed ridiculous. Heart ablaze, old fears burn off, paths are illuminated and relationships spark. More highlights: You'll travel many miles to make a deal. You'll be early to a trend and reap many benefits, including financial. Fresh habits give you the energy to enjoy your big plans. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 17, 33, 12 and 35.
